A scheme to generate 50 GHz pulse train using rational harmonic mode locking technique is proposed and studied experimentally. The modulation frequency is adjusted to achieve a 50 GHz pulse train which has a pulse width of 5.25 ps. Numerical simulation results show good agreement with the experimental results.
We simulate supercontinuum generation for various shapes of a dispersion varying As2S3 waveguides on MgF2 substrate with air cladding. The supercontinuum generation is simulated for pulses of 2000 W peak power and 50 fs pulse width centered at 1.55 μm wavelength. For a uniform waveguide the generated spectrum is considerably narrower than that for a non-uniform waveguide. This is because the non-uniform waveguide allows a continuous phase matching of the generated waves through nonlinear interaction. We have demonstrated that a high coefficient of nonlinear refractive index is necessary for generating supercontinuum with large bandwidths. Larger supercontinuum bandwidth is predicted for waveguides with increasing As2S3 thickness along the propagation direction.
The effect of two-photon absorption (TPA) on all-optical logic operation in quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA) has been carried out. The rate equation was modeled with the TPA effect for the logic XOR gate, AND gate, and, for pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) generation. The output Q-factor (quality) has increased due to the implementation of TPA induced pumping. The results show that the quality of the output depends on the input pulse width and the speed of operation. The PRBS system has been shown to operate at 250 Gb/s and 320 Gb/s and the Q-factor decreases with an increase in pulse width.
